An early video explainer of the Pepe meme

A short 2015 summary of where Pepe came from and how the meme was being used, drawing on Know Your Meme. It predates the character's political contest, and the uploader concedes in the notes that the comic's title is misstated in the video. Its value is as a record of how the meme was understood in mid-2015.
